### 4/5 — Good, but lacking some minor features

*2024-04-29*

I like the app, but it would be great if you could import a PDF or word document. Additionally, it would be great to be able to set up a Setlist and group some songs together so that you don’t have to scroll through your song list to find the next song in the list.  I haven’t attempted to connect my Bluetooth pedal to it yet to see how the functionality works but we’ll see and I’ll update.

### 5/5 — Great free app with some cool features!

*2023-06-21*

This app has several advantages over other leadsheet apps. First of all, it’s free. It also imports songs with greater accuracy, has a cool feature to switch between chord symbols and Roman numerals, and is more straightforward than other apps. Editing by line or section is another great feature. Beginning players and students will benefit from the editable chord diagrams. Great option for those wanting a simple, free leadsheet app.

### 5/5 — Great app for lead sheets!

*2023-06-16*

Easier to use and no ads.
